Here is my fourth and final Round 1 estimate, just hours before the 2024 NFL Draft gets underway in Detroit (8 p.m. ET on NFL Network/ESPN/ABC).

The Giants may have to pay more in a trade up than the conventional trade chart would suggest since there is less quarterback available than there is demand. After assisting Josh Allen in Buffalo, Brian Daboll might see an opportunity to do the same with the talented but erratic quarterback from North Carolina.

Arizona might complete a deal to move back if the Patriots decide to move out of the third pick. However, I anticipate that they will persevere and select only one of the top players available in the draft.

Whoa, whoa! Although the Chargers may be considering this receiver—we all know they need one after losing out on Keenan Allen and Mike Williams—Jim Harbaugh chooses to remain patient and grab the largest bully on the block in order to strengthen his run game and establish the proper tone for the team going forward.

In an attempt to strengthen the trenches ahead of what may prove to be a three-year rebuild/restock for Eliot Wolf, Jerod Mayo, and company, the Patriots elect to pass on both wide out and quarterback in order to acquire their bell-cow left tackle.

The Vikings wait it out for a bit and are rewarded with the ability to trade up just three spots to take McCarthy while hanging on to their No. 23 pick. (Per the Jimmy Johnson trade chart, they can accomplish this deal by moving a future Day 2 pick.)
